How fast can I get a pharmacist?

Usually, it is a same day or next day service. Sometimes within the hour, it is always easier for us and simpler for our customers if the basic paperwork is developed ahead of time and only the order needs to be processed when the need arises. That is why we urge potential customers to sign up with Med-Assist™ ahead of time, even when the need is not pressing. It only makes sense to have an available option you can depend on.

What qualities are most important to your existing customers?

Do you have good pharmacists?

In our experience, this question really addresses two distinct business areas, each involving your liability. First, each pharmacist we hire is thoroughly screened through their employment history and the Board of Pharmacy. They are licensed, in good standing and insured. Second, Med-Assist™ interviews and hires only the most qualified pharmacy staff, capable of jumping into difficult situations, demonstrating an ability to merge seamlessly with existing staff, and getting the job done in a manner which promotes positively our client’s organizations and Med-Assist’s^™ culture.

What computer systems are your pharmacists familiar with?

Computer literacy is a must for working with Med-Assist’s^™. In fact, almost all of our pharmacists are trained on multiple versions of the most popular systems, including PDX, Condor, PPC, and others. However, in our experience, individual companies often have slight variations of these common systems. Sometimes special training is required of fill-in pharmacists. In those cases, we are equipped to handle these specialized training and testing on these systems.

Are your pharmacists up to date?

Yes. Med-Assist’s^™ keeps only currently licensed associates, in good standing with the Board of Pharmacy and carries malpractice insurance. Most of our associates also hold other pharmacy positions which require them to keep abreast with the latest changes in the industry and its trends. Our pharmacists are prepared to step into your work environment and professionally handle the responsibilities.

How do you screen your pharmacists?

Carefully, Not only do we screen them, we continue to monitor their performance after they are on the job for you. We check our pharmacists’ employment history; we check their personal and professional references, and we check their good standing with the Board of Pharmacy. Med-Assist™ also interviews each candidate and rates him or her on a professional competency scale. We ensure proficiency in English or any foreign language requirements in order to assure functionality within your pharmaceutical milieu. Each pharmacist also undergoes a rigorous drug screened process.

Can I get the same pharmacist each time?

Yes, we try to assign the same pharmacist or technician in order to eliminate ramp-up time. We maintain meticulous employee/customer records for exactly this need.

Can I hire a pharmacist from you?

Yes. However, it is always best to indicate the possible need at the onset of an assignment in order to properly screen amongst associated available for permanent placement. This makes for a better transition in terms of cost and time.
